Welcome to 281 Gile Road—where peaceful Maine living, modern comfort, and long-term affordability come together on a beautiful 1-acre corner lot in West Newfield. Enjoy the serenity of rural Maine without isolation: the home sits on the NH border, just 1-2 miles from Wakefield, NH, with quick access to Route 11 and Sanford.
The setting offers quiet country living, property taxes that are almost half of the York County median, and easy access to several lakes and ponds perfect for year-round outdoor enjoyment. Inside, natural light fills the freshly renovated spaces, creating a warm & welcoming feel from the moment you step onto the porch and into the bright living room.
Thoughtful updates throughout include a new kitchen, updated bathroom, new flooring, new roofing, gutters, upgraded electric panel, and a new mini-split for efficient heating and cooling. A thoughtful split-layout gives the home a wonderfully functional feel. Two comfortable bedrooms and the main living room sit together on one side of the home, creating a cozy, connected everyday living wing.
The kitchen sits right at the center—opening easily to both sides of the house. On the opposite end, you'll find the spacious primary bedroom paired with a large dining room (or second living/family room/office space), offering privacy and flexibility for multiple lifestyles. A charming first floor laundry room, detached garage, and storage shed add convenience, storage, and room to grow.
The home's premium energy features set it apart. A Tesla Powerwall—a system valued at over 15K—provides seamless, automatic backup power for peace of mind in every season. Paired with the 2024 leased solar system, the combined solar + electric cost is fixed and less than half of the state average, with predictable/low increases annually, keeping energy expenses stable and affordable for decades to come. A move-in-ready retreat offering comfort, savings, and the calm of true country living
